Bulinus laurentii Sowerby I, 1833 Figs 14A, 14i

Bulinus laurentii Sowerby I 1833: 37.

Type locality.

"in Peruviâ”; see remarks.

Label. "Peru Callao", in Albers’ handwriting.

Dimensions.

"long. 0.55, lat. 0.3 poll. [H 13.9, D 7.6 mm]"; figured specimen herein H 15.3, D 7.9, W 6.5.

Type material.

ZMB 117770, one probable syntype; ex Albers coll. No. 10, ex Cuming coll.

Remarks.

The specimen has been received through Albers from the Cuming collection, and there is little doubt about its type status. For a clarification why type material described by G.B. Sowerby I found its way to the Cuming collection, see Breure and Ablett (2011: 3, 10, and 12). The type locality was restricted by Ramírez (2004: 41) to "Depto Lima, Las Salinas de Huacho, perto [sic, puerto] de Huacho", which seems contradicting to the locality on the label found. The current systematic position has been taken from the same author.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx modestus (Broderip in Broderip and Sowerby I, 1832).
